男主视角的生日番外
尼尼生日快乐啊！
尼尼是威尼斯团宠！真的！
8 June, 1688
6:00am
Today seems special, but I've forgotten why it is special. Let me just run through my schedule-wait? A full day at the shops?! I thought I was meant to go to my violin lessons in the afternoon...well it looks like I would have to sneak out.
6:30am
Antonio said that he likes to see me wear red clothing, I guess I'll put on the red justacorps again, even though it does seem a little bit dull if I wore the same clothing almost everyday, but I guess he likes it, so ehh...
7:00am
Breakfast. Father had went off to work early so it was only mother and I who were at the table. She spoke about wigs again. I can't believe it...why? Is my blonde hair not beautiful enough? I'm definitely not shaving my head bald just for that massive wig that does not fit me, and I don't care how old I am right now, I'm definitely not wearing wigs.
7:30am
Heading towards father's shops on a boat (with my baby instrument), oh please give me some extra work to do...I've been entering transactions for the entire year, can I even possible touch a balance sheet or trading and profit and loss account in my lifetime? Anyways I'm going to sneak out during lunchtime.
1:00pm
Why did father's secretary chat to me for so long...It's one and I still haven't had lunch yet. I guess I'll buy something on the way to signor Legrenzi's place...
2:00pm
Oh lord I've finally managed to sneak out. I would have to hurry, else I can't reach in time, and what's worse, there are no boats...I would have to run there...with heels?!
I reached signor Legrenzi's place quite late, almost at the end of Antonio's lesson. The two of them looked at me with surprise, especially Antonio, he was staring so hard his eyeballs might have popped out...
'What happened to your hair?'
'What happened?'
'Where's the ribbon?'
'Hmm? It came loose?'
'Yes...your hair's just free from any lovelocking at the moment. I like it though.'
'Ahh thanks.'
'Both me and signor Legrenzi have a surprise for you.'
'What surprise?'
And I saw Antonio pick up his violin and started playing a sonata in D major. His playing has improved by a lot from the first time I met him, and his music understanding also levelled up. Signor Legrenzi was accompanying him on the harpsichord, and was smiling at me, which made me a little uncomfortable, so I backed up a bit from the doorway. Antonio saw me, and followed in my direction, and stood right in front of me until he finished the sonata with a D major chord.
'Your playing has improved by a lot!' I crouched down and hugged him.
'Thanks! I composed this piece for-'
'You composed it yourself?'
'Yes, Antonio did compose it himself, and it is for a special purpose.' Signor Legrenzi walked towards our direction.
'A special purpose?'
'Tomaso don't tell me you forgot the date today.'
'It's 8th of June, right?'
'And?' The two of them smiled at me, and made a gesture, telling me to continue.
'And?' I asked in confusion.
'Oh lord please don't tell me you've forgotten...' signor Legrenzi sighed.
'It's your birthday!' Antonio whispered in my ears.
'My birthday?' I tried to remember. Yes it is my birthday, but I've never celebrated it, because this day doesn't become special because it is my birthday. I never want to make a huge fuss about days I don't need to, and as time passes, I forget about celebrating my birthday, but remembering instead that I've just turned 17.
'Yes, don't you celebrate it?'
'Rarely...maybe nope?'
'Aww that's such a pity. I have time after class today, maybe we could hang out for a bit longer?'
'As you wish then.' I smiled at Antonio and pinched his cheeks.
Venice wasn't as prosperous as other cities, such as Milan or Florence. Antonio and I walked along the Great Canal, like what we have always done, but this time turning left towards the San Marco Basilica, and headed towards a cafè that was nearby. Antonio bought me a piece of cheesecake (I certainly enjoyed it, although it was too small for me to actually enjoy it), and we sat in the cafè, relaxing.
'How come you don't celebrate your birthday?'
'It's just that I don't want to make a fuss out of it.' I tried scopping up more cake, but only scooping up air, and looked at my spoon in embarrassment.
'But it's special, ehh?' He tilted his head.
'Hmm maybe.' I started sipping the hot chocolate, and failed to because I had finished that as well.
'Ha! You're done with both of them.' He giggled.
To hide my embarrassment I called the waiter to fill our cups again, and ordered that we should get a bowl of pretzels. Antonio started to munch on them as soon as they were served and...he didn't even leave a piece for me!
'I thought it's my birthday? And you end up taking everything!' I laughed.
'Come on, it's almost 5 o' clock, I'm hungry.' He covered his mouth, which was full of pretzels.
'Swallow all of that first, incase you choke. It's 5 already?'
'Yep.'
'Hmm. We should go to a restaurant then, I'll pay for the food-'
'Nice! Now I can have whatever I want whether it is out of my budget or not!' He grinned.
'Antonio...I thought it was my birthday, shouldn't you be a bit considerate about my wallet, what happens if I run out?'
'Ahh I know you won't, don't worry. I know a place that's really good, follow me.' He held my hand and lead me into an alley, and opened a door right beside a pub.
'I'm sure you have not been here before.'
'Yeah, where is this place?' I looked around the restaurant in curiosity, attracted by everything I saw and heard.
'A restaurant, I love how it's quiet here, and there's usually an ensemble that plays trio sonatas at around 6pm, I think you'll like it.
'I do, especially that it's settled, also I like the lighting, it's quite dark and nice to scare little kids.' I smirked at Antonio.
'Ahh you're making me scared...' He clenched on to my hand, so tight that I felt like his nails were digging into my fingers...
'I was joking, come let's take a seat, what do you wish to have?'
'Anything, I mean I'll just have whatever you like.'
'Sure then.'
*skips the eating because I'm lazy.*
We finished our meals at around 7, and it was turning dark outside. I walked with Antonio along the Great Canals again, and there was absolutely no one on the streets. Antonio started to wrap his hands around my arm (I'm guessing he's petrified of the dark), and looked around the streets.
'What's the matter?'
'I'm...a little...scared.'
'Don't worry, I'm here.' I patted his back.
'I think we shouldn't be outside this late...'
'Do you wish for me to walk with you back home?'
'I think I'll be alright on my own.'
'But it's dark now.'
'Umm, then I guess you can come with me until I reach the street? My father doesn't like to see me hanging out with others so I don't want us two to get into trouble.'
'Sure then, just remember that I'm always here for you.' Before I finished the sentence, a thunderbolt struck and it started to rain. Antonio gave a light squeal and I cuddled him immediately.
'You're afraid of the thunder?'
'No-' then came another rumble that scared him so much he started to weep.
'It's alright, I'll walk with you back home, alright?' I stroke his hair and beamed in his direction.
'Hmm.'
I passed him my justacorps so he could keep warmth, and wiped his tears with my handkerchief.
'Keep it, you're only wearing a shirt.'
'But you're just wearing a waistcoat as well…'
'It's fine. I'll be fine but you need to keep warm.'
'But-'
'Just keep it.' I covered Antonio up with the justacorps.
'I've reached the street. Do you mind waiting for a second, I have something for you.' Antonio ran back to his door and came out later, holding a stuffed toy.
'What's this?' I gazed at the toy in amazement.
'It's…it's a stuffed horse that I made myself, I'm sorry that I didn't get to buy a wooden one for you, but I guess you can cuddle on to this when you go to bed.'
I took the horse from his hands, and examined it. It was a flaxen chestnut horse made out of red linen. The manes and tail were from yellow strings, the hooves were wrapped in black linen, the eyes were from old buttons and the horse was stuffed with cotton.
'Sorry it looks really shabby, my budget-'
'No I absolutely love it! I've always longed for something I can cuddle to when I went to bed. Moreover I like it because you made it for me, not because of what it was made out of, I'm not that materialistic.'
'Aww I love you Tomaso!'
'What?'
'Love as in friends, you're my best friend, aren't you?'
'Of course I am, and we’ll always remain as best friends.'
I took out my watch, and told him that it would be too late if we continued chatting.
'Alright, I’ll go home by myself, you should go home ASAP as well.'
'Yeah sure, stay safe!'
'Arrivederci, mio amico.'
'Arrivederci~'
I reached home at around 8:30, completely soaked and was shivering in the coldness. The butler brought a warm towel for me and handed me a cup of warm milk with honey (absolutely disgusting…). Mother ushered me upstairs to take a bath and get changed into clean clothes ASAP because she had prepared something for me.
There were brand new garments spread out on my bed, and I placed the toy horse beside them. I quickly took a shower and stared at the new garments, that consisted of a high-collared red velvet justacorps, a caramel waistcoat, a pair of beige breeches, woollen stockings, a gold-lined cravat, a white cotton shirt and a red banyan. I put on the shirt, the breeches, the cravat and the banyan instead, because it was quite late. The butler quickly ushered me downstairs into the dining room, and I saw both of my parents sitting by the table, looking very strict, so strict that I thought I was going to get punished for walking in the rain, as it was considered to be unhealthy. As I bowed to them, father quickly grinned at me and rung a bell. Several servants brought up a tub of vanilla gelato, and scooped it into our bowls. I looked at them in confusion as they smiled at me, and the awkward atmosphere did not break itself until father spoke:
'Happy birthday, my dear son.'
'Oh yes, thank you father.' I nodded at him.
'And remember the trip to Cremona I went on last month?'
'Yes, father.'
'Your father's brought something you'll really love.'
'Something I would really love?'
'Yes, take a guess.' My mother said.
'Umm, is it an instrument?'
'Yes, come and take a look yourself.'
I unpacked the instrument from its well-varnished wooden case, it was a violin, a Stradivarius violin.
'A Strad?' I shrieked with surprise.
'Yes, I believe you can use this for your performances, and you can practise on a day-to-day basis with the Amati you have right now.' Said my father.
'I…I don't know how to express my happiness with words, I'm overwhelmed with content.' I couldn't control my facial expressions, and was at the point of dancing around the room with joy.
'Look at you, my dear little boy. Come and sit by mum.' Mother waved to me and tapped on the chair beside her. 'I can't believe you're seventeen this year, some years ago you were still a little boy, who was still shorter than me. Look at you now,' she rubbed my cheeks, 'you’re almost taller than your father now!'
'Mother…come on…' I smiled and started blushing.
'Alright, finish the ice-cream and go to bed, it's quite late and you should go to bed quickly. Because you went to work today you'll have a day off tomorrow.' Father patted on my back and smiled at me.
'And next time don't run around in the rain, I don't want you getting sick.' Mother fed me a spoonful of ice-cream.
'Alright, let him finish the food himself, he's not a baby now, he's just turned 17.'Father kissed mother on the cheeks.
'He's always my little darling, no matter how old he is.' Mother handed me the spoon and kissed father back on the cheeks.
I went upstairs, back to my room after placing my violins in my practice room. The butler got a cup of cherry juice for me, incase I couldn't sleep because of all that excitement I was in. I drank the entire cup, and told him that he could take a rest from work for the rest of the day. Quickly, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and got changed into my nightgown, and slipped into bed, while playing with the toy horse Antonio made for me. I fell into a deep slumber quickly, and cuddled on the toy horse. Before falling completely asleep, I felt the butler covering me up with a light blanket, blew out my candles and closed my door after he had left.
'Are you asleep, master?’
There was silence.
'Well, I guess you are by the fact that you're not responding, enjoy your encounter with Signor Vivaldi in your dreams, and I can tell that you're enjoying it from your smile-'
'Alright I'm going to sleep.' I blushed.
'Yes master, have a good night with signor Vivaldi.’
'Thanks~’
－－－我是分割线－－－
音乐科普：
斯琴和阿马蒂我应该就不用多说了吧，都挺贵重的（阿尔比诺尼一家子都很有钱）
好像就这么多诶...那就先到这儿
科普结束
剧情：
我写了尼尼去罗马之前的这段是为了让我们给小斯性格还是很好的他上柱香，再过半年这个性格就要没了...
开头一大堆就是尼尼一天的日程（上班什么的太无聊了，所以直接skip到见维维）+吐槽自己的活儿为什么还不能升级（兄弟你能把账平了再说吧...）
中间维维和Legrenzi给尼尼演奏的场景他不好看么？！维维追着尼尼拉琴的那段不香么（全篇维二有攻气的地方）？！虽然说之后被雷声吓哭了瞬间破功...
这俩人好像很早就单独吃晚饭了啊...那我上篇预告错了...
维维你也真是的，自己把对象领到一个阴森森的餐厅就别怪对象吓自己...不过少年维维好像还不是那么傲娇，所以乖乖的牵着尼尼的手（我全程姨母笑写完的）
之后怕雷的剧情是不是跟Biffi视角的回忆连上了！快夸我！
所以你们知道为什么打雷的时候尼尼那么担心了吧，自己在的时候维维都被吓哭了，这要是不在还不知道会被吓成什么样呢...
为什么维维会跟尼尼道歉说马不是木头做的，这是因为一般有钱人家的孩子都是玩儿木制玩具，穷人家的孩子只能拿旧衣服自己做毛绒玩具玩儿（红毛太惨了，所以尼尼你打算什么时候包养他？）
我真的要感叹一句：尼尼从小就是暖啊，怕对象淋着雨还把自己外套给他，到最后自己浑身湿透的回家（插一句：这里尼尼为了不让那个小马被淋湿是全程抱着回家的）
还as in friends...你之后说的one level above friendship是不是打脸了？说是不是？！
回了家之后的剧情完全是为了立一个团宠的人设，其实也为了他后面黑化埋一个伏笔，虽然说尼尼不是娇生惯养但是也是被宠大的，加上身边的人都非常友好，所以他到了罗马之后才那么的不适应
啊对了冰淇凌在那个时候是一种新潮的甜点，也算是奢侈品，所以...算了我已经侧面描写过很多遍男主很富有了（求求你赶紧把维瓦尔第、巴赫、佩尔戈莱西等一众缺钱作曲家包养了吧...当然了帕格尼尼和莫扎特这两个极度费钱的可以先考虑考虑）
最后的最后，这管家我吹爆！直接祝福主人在梦里遇到基友实在是太助攻了（悄咪咪的说一句这管家也太贴心了吧，等等怎么跟我第二篇虐文里边那个偷窥狂给哭晕的维维盖被子一摸一样？难不成这偷窥狂也经历过类似的事情HMMMMMMMMMM）
好的剧情就先聊到这儿（这一篇跟之前的比实在是太甜了awsl）
卖一波安利：
Vespetta e Pimpinone（下一篇或者下下篇会考）
L'estro armonico-op 3 no 9（跟上一篇卖的安利一样嘻嘻）
Sonata a tre op 1 no 3 in A major
